Doncaster LA SEND Hearing Impairment (HI) Service:

Audiology appointments/equipment information

Over the summer, audiology appointments were cancelled. There is now a backlog and many young people have waited months for hearing tests. You can help by attending appointments offered, or rearranging them as early as possible, so the slot can be offered to another child.

If you require a hearing appointment, new moulds, batteries or tubing, please contact your audiology department:

Doncaster Royal Infirmary Children’s Audiology Department

Tel: 01302 642763 - leave a voicemail if no one answers

Or Email: dbth.childrens.audiology@nhs.net

Remember to include:

1.Your child’s name and date of birth or NHS number

2.What you require

3.Your address

4.Phone number where they can reach you

About Us

Doncaster Deaf Children's Society (DDCS) was established in November 2014 by a group of parents with deaf children with the aim of bringing together families affected by a child with hearing loss.

We intend to represent the views of parents, offer social events and provide support to newly diagnosed familes.
